We forbear comparison, hut it is certainly not fitted for him. The only two scenes which enabled hitnto display his p-cidiar powers were between the King and Hubert ; the first, in which.Jolot desires the latter to kill Arthur, and the other, in which he up braids hiin.witli the act. In these scenes he ap peared to advantage—thOugh, upon the whole, the revival of this Tragedy has not added to his tame. Constance, as performed by Miss MAcAut.t.nr, Was a very good piece of acting, ru irely free from extravagance. Her grief- for the loss of Ar-, thur was well pourtraycd, and her reproach to!1 Austria finely delivered. WALL “.:x's Faulconbriage, and we again decline comparison, was at least animated, and the Tragedy was altogether re ceivecl with considerable applause.—Th e Mana gers, much to their rtrOit, with. due reverence for the great A.itli?r and the excellence of his Work, have brongo forward the Play in a,style of suit able splendour —Some disturbanc e arose cram the alleged necessity of changing the tarot : " a' The Reriew to another, on account ot Mr .

About the time the Regent arrived, Mr. Nicholls, the King's Proctor, enteted the Palace, and announced that it was iffivossible for the Marriage Cerrinaay to proceed then, as the Archbishop of Canterimry was not come, nor wonld his Grace be there, as ha Mot nor been informed of the h..or of marriag e !icing changed from five o'clock, and another in surniountahle difficulty to the proceeding with the marriage was, the Royal Licence was not ready, nor would it 1w so till five o'clock; he therefore desired an interview will) Viscount Sidruouth, uhich having•'ohtaineil the difficulties of the L , atned Gentleman, he found, could not be dispensed with. , and the ceremony Was therefore adjourned till Eve o'clo c k. The Lord Chancellor and the Cabinet Nlioiste s present left the Palace, and all the Royal At te..dants soon followed. The Royal Family and the bishop of London remained iu the Palace.' • The Archbishop of Canterbou did not hear of tpe tropics sant dilen.ma which had happen, ithout a criart er p as t three o'clock, as h e way returning to Lambeth Palace, from attending the Orphan School at St. John's Wood, when he was met in the Park by Viscount sidmouth, who informed him of what had happenA: His Grace•in consequence made all possible speed, and arrived at tire Palace at half-past tour o'clock. the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, and Viscount Sidneoith, .eturned to the Palace soon after, and Mr Nicholls, the Kim's Proctor, arrived with the Licence.

As soon as the Ceremony had concluded, a signal was given front the Palace for a discharge of 'Ci4llllOll, when a double royal salute was fired from the Parade. - In the evening the Prince Regent gave a grand dinner upon the occasion. (From The Dublin Journal, May 25) • On Saturday night some scenes were represent., ed, perhaps unparalleled in the annals of stage management, and the respect due by the per formers to their patrons, the Public ! In order to put the matter clearly before our Readers, we shall insert the advertisement set fords for that even ing's entertamment : THEATRE ROYAL. This evening, May 2;3, his Majesty's Servants will per form, for the 4th time in this Kingdom (having. been re ceived with increased applause), the Musical Drama, in three Acts, its now performing, at the Theatre Royal Covent-garden, with distingoished appi ohation founded on th e very popular Novel of R u b Roy, and entitled, ROB ROY MACGREGOR; Or, Auld Litog Nytte. To conclude with, for the first in this Kingdom, a new En tertainment, after the manner of Mr. Incledon's Wandering Melodist, entitled, A MINSTREL'S SUMMER RAMBLE ; Consisting. of Recitations, Serious and Comic, interspersed with a variety of the most popular Song-s, 'Poets and Glees, to be sting by :Messrs. Horn, O'i'allaglian, Hodson, D'Arcy, O'Rourke, and Mrs. Lazenby, to he prefaced with a Poetical Exolanatiotv. In the course Of the Entertainment the eeh— brated Master Balle will perform a Concerto on the Violin, composed by himself.. The whole to toneltide with a Poetical Apology. The Itrcitations written and to be spoken by au _dun:tear rf fashion. The " Musical Drama" passed on with the same inditßreo ce as upon its previous representations. Xlie.l-lonse was bur - thinly attended, hut there were some fashionable personages in the boxes" assembled, no doubt, tort he purpose of witnessing the exertions of the." Amateur of Fashion" in his f‘ Miostrel's Siil4llller RaMble;" a considerable pause ensued after the dropping of the at the conclusion of the Musical Drama ; the au dience became impatient, and at length the cur tain rose. There was on the stage a piano-forte, behind which stood a performer unknown, and four chairs, upon three of which were seated Messrs. O'Callaghan, Hodson, and D'Arcy ; an other seat, like Ramiro's, was unoccupied ; at one side a table was placed, upon which the Amateur of Fashion recliner!: before him a music stand ; the Amateur advanced, and unquestionably his demeanor was that of a Gentleman : he pro ceeded to - recite his " Poetical Explanation," but in so inaudible a voice that the audience be came dissatisfied ; he was announced as an Ama teur, but we do not hesitate to pronounce him a Notice. M , lsts. O'Callaghan, Hodson, and D'Arcy,. sung some Glees, and Songs were also interspersed by Mr. O'Rourke, Mr. Ward, and Mrs. Lazenby, but the " Amateur " being so completely unsatisfactory in his delivery, the ge neral Opinion of the House seemed to be that the Eatertainment &m aid not be allowed to proceed tur her, and ktfinule was about to be attempted, when a- Gentleman from the I'it called for Mr. Horn : this was re-echoed throughout every part of the House, and after some time, Mr. Farren appeared on the Stage, and stated, that he had sent to Mr. Horn's dressing-room, and received for answer from his dresser, that Mr. Horn " had gone home ill." The Gentleman replied, that Mr. Horn was not ten minutes before in the Or chestra, apparently iii good health, and also laugh ing heartily at the performance; his name was in the bills to sing in the entertainment, his conduct in the Orchestra was indelicate and indecorous, the public must make-a stand against those innova lions- awl d;Greepe.et ', east - upon them ; nor should Mr. Horn or any other performer be al lowed to pursue similar conduct.—(Great shouts of applause).—Mr. Farren observed that Mr. Horn certainly knew his name was in the bills. A Gentleman from the pit then inquired from Mr. F , rren would he promise that the proprietors or patentee word(' visit with reprehension upon Mr. Horn this dereliction of his duty towards the puldic ? Mr. Farren retired to the stage door, and retailed, saying, " if it is the wish of the public, Mr. Horn shall he discharged."—Several persons vociferated, "he shall never appear again," others said, " do not dismiss him without trial, let him appear and make an apology." Mr. Farren was asked, who authorized him to say that Mr. Horn should be discharged at the public wish ? to which he made answer, " on e of the Proprietors ;" it was then observed that this plausible offer was but a subterfuge upon the pre sera occasion, as the Proprietors invariably ex ercised an arbitrary discretion with respect to the dismissal of performers, as in the recent dismissal of Mons: and Mademoiselle Simon, the two French dancers; to this the Deputy Manager made no answer. Loud cries ensued, "is Mr. Hon, in the House ?" to which Mr. Farren said, be was not, and that the Proprietors had but two comses to pursue, either '' to forfeit" or dismiss the per former who neglected his duty. Mr. Farren was asked, would the Prhprietors stare to the public what method they would pursue with respect to Mr. Horn ? Mr. Farrell said, the Proprietors awaited the public opinion. —Mr. Horn would, Ti,, doubt, be acqaninted with the present proceed ings ; it was for him to justify himself before the public; undoubtedly he had grossly neglected his duty, and should be accountable for it—he (Mr. F.) trusted he had discharged his duty to (he satis faction of the audience—loud cries, " you have, you have ;" Mr. F. then observed, that Mr. Horn was not in the house at present, he had seen hint certainly about half an hour before---,the audience generally exclaimed, " aend for him, we will wait, let him explain his conduct if possible." 'Mr. Farren retired, and the audience waited for nearly twenty • minutes in the most peaceable manner; at- length Mr. Farren re-appeared, and stated, that the Prompter had been to the ings of Mr. Horn, but- he was not, at home : " Although he was so ill , and obliged to go home," said a gentleman from the boxes ; an other gcntlenian from the pit said, " Mr. Horn shall not appear on Monday next, without an ex planation. I observe from the Bill lie is adver tised to play in Rob Roy' on that night ; and Mr. Horn shall answer the charges against him for neglect of duty, and insultingly laughing at and ridiculing the performers from the orchestra, at a time when he himself should have been on the stage, as appears from the Bill I now hold in my hand ; it-is the general opinion and feeling of the house that an apology or explanation should appear in the Morning Papers of Monday—it is time the public should make a stand, they are too frequently insulted, and have too patiently borne with it." Here a gentleman from the boxes ob served, that this was not the only instance of Mr. The following account of the conclusion of this affair appears in The Dublin Evening Post of May 26 : Last night, after the Overture to Rod► Roy was performed, and before the commencement of the Opera, Mr. Horn came forward to address,the audience. He had learned, we presume, that the preceding very injudicious apology would not be acceptable, and lie, therefore, with great pro priety, took another course. He found that he had set up a very bad defence, inasmuch as an actor has no right to take any step founded upon, an opinion as to the probable success or con• dentnation of the entertainment in which he has a part—it is - his duty to be at his post, there to use his best exertions to save the piece, and not to promote its total condemnation by his absence — s in fact, in this particul a r, an Actor is like a mere soldier—he has no deliberative power. A ware, we should suppose, of this, ►Mr. Horn, last very properly put the above address aside—he at once admitted the impropriety of which he had been,guilty, and stated, that he came there to apologize, expressing his sorrow,•and at the same time declaring, that intentional di , respect to the audience was tar from his thoughts. He was proceeding in this strain, when a unanimous cry from all parts of the house of '' Enough, enough," relieved him from his unpleasant situation, and on his retiring from the stage, he received a ge. petal plaudit of approbation. We doubt not but Mr. Horn will profit by this lesson, and we should hope long recollect that the l'roprierors of the Theatre offered on Saturday night to dismiss hint on the moment, and that he is indebted for his r e_ sent situation, in Crow-street, to the liberality of the very indulgent audience tl►en present." It was generally supposed that the approaching dissoloton of Parliament would have had the effect of depreciating the price of the Funds, on account of its being necessary to have recourse 10 them, for the large sums necessary for carrying on the Elections. This supposition, however, has proved groundless, most proliably in conse. quence of the near approach of NEST THURSDAY, when the State Lottery will commence di a . .vittg: Three Prizes of 20,0001. and 107 Capitals, or a considerable portion of them, are now on sale, flt CARROLL'S Offices, No. 7, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford -street, where Two Prizes of 20,0001. and Ten other Capitals, were sold in the last Four Months. In former Lotteries it was thought extraordi• nary to have One , or TvOo Capital Prizes decided the First Day of Drawing ; now, by the arrange.• meat of HAZARD and CO. the present Contractors, for distributing Capital Prizes to all classes of adventurers, there must be Twenty Capitals de. cided in the First Half Hour, NEXT TuuRsDAY, 4th of June, when the Lottery begins ; and about Thirty.fotir Capital Prizes will, in all probability, be drawn iu the course of the day.

TO THE HUN. to YI"I.I.ETON, M. P. FOR THF: COUNTY OF WORCESTER. SIR,—You have availed yourself of your privi lege, as a Member of Parliament, to vilify a cha racter which, as a private iudividual, you would not venture to assail : you have, in your heated oppo,ition to the measures of Government, or in the prosecution of some other motive, orniecessa rily calumniated the reputation of men as ho• pourable, though not as noise, as yourself; and, clothing yourself in the mawkish morality of the times, have singled our THE LOTTERY as the mounting block to reputation and popularity. I trust, Sir, that toy name and character are too well known to the Public to be affected by your liitemnerance, for I ant Well assured your power of injuring is far short of what your vanity may suppose. I haVe for near fifty years conducted myself in the management of Lotteries, and on the Stock Ea change, in a way that has ensured me the esteem of my numerous friends and gained teethe confidence of the Public, and if you, or any one, are able to produce any instance of fraud or dishonesty in my dealings, or any anecdote disreputable to my character (or those connected with me), I call on you to do so, or else to offer the only satis faction in your power for the injury you have at tempted to do me (as well as others), and publicly recant your unqualified assertions. I purposely decline saying any thing of the na tore or tendency of 'SHE L o Treint itself ; the Public are not to be blinded by the - clamours of interested Oppositionists, nor are his Majesty's Ministers, who are at least as respectable and vir tuous as yourself, to be influenced in their arrangements of Finance by the cant of sectarian hypocrisy, or cajoled into a reduction of the Ike venue by the pitiful pretences of religious and moral quackery. I conclude, Sir, with professing myself (being thus cruelly forced to speak in my - own justifica tion) as sincere a Christian and as honest a man as yourself, and with advising you to correct your own impetuosity and talent for censtire before you attack the reputations and morality of others.

Horn's disrespect for the Dublin audience, as het was almost invariably imperfect in the characters he attempted to pertorm (true true, how sever al in the boxes and pit). Mr. Fart en 1% pea eel, !kat Mr. Horn should be discharged it was the publia wish ; there was no doubt he had grossly offended, knowing his name to be in the Bills, and baring absented himself. It was then suggested from the Pit, that in order to prevent any disturbance, Mr. Horn should not be advertised for Monday night, to sustain any character in the perform.. ince, but miiht he allowed to come forward be. ivreen the play and farce with such apology or ex planation as he might think proper ; this prop°. sitiOn was not gererally agreed to, and Mr. Far• ren expressed himself to understand that Mr. Horn, being apprised of the circumstances, should necessarily furnish some state-meat in extenuation of W I conduct ; there were . 10011 cries of " disc miss him, dismiss hi:n !" others for " apology, apology !" the latter seemed to prevail, and after an acknowledgment from the House of the recti_ lode of Mr. Fin ren's comlnct, that Gentleman re tired front ihe Stage ; an ineffectual effort was made to conclude the " Summer's Ramble" by God save the King; but the audience, being put out of temper by the previous exhibition, requested that the curtain suottlil drop. The Amateur of Fa-. shim] remained at the Wing, and bore itis failures with n o tch apparent good temper. Mr. Horn has published the following Addrestli in the Journals of this morning :-- TO THE PUBLIC. Mr. Horn is extremely sorry to learn from the Manager that his absence from the Theatre on Saturday night,.during the Entertainment, had produced much disapprobation. Any disappointment to which it had given rise, be begs leave to say, was wholly unintentional, and proceeded from no feeling of indifference to the wishes of the Public, front woom lie hag experienced,favonr s that demand his warmest gratitthle• it will be recollected, that In had - performed an arduous part in the Opera. The Manager, considering the business he had, to go through, had arranged it for the purpose of rest that he should not appear until late in the entertainment. - He hag gone round to the Orchestra, after the commencemtlot of the recitation, to obseree its reception, and hayii,g seen that it produced strong and general displeasure, he had too hastily concluded that the house would nut allow it to proceed ; ;Ind that his services would not at all be called for. l'inler this impression, and feeling extremely indisposed, he unto; tu nately left the Theatre, and was not within call when hit presence was demanded. He regrets the circumstance ex ceedingly, and begs leave to repeat, that it was altogether without any desig n of manif es ti ng s li g h t or disrespect to the Public. If he La thought that Isis services were necessary, he would most certainly have been at his post, and have en deavoured to go through the duty assigned to him, or tell time. its amount, if it had been demanded. Westmoreland -street, 24th May, IStB. The Public will, of course, decide whether ttis shall he considered a satisfactory explanation or excuse for Mr. Horn's non-appearance. We no. der stand that the Manager will be called for this evening, to explain this and other negligences. It was advertised in the bills that Master and Miss St. Pierre were to dance, but they never made their appearance ; and although Mr. Horn must have been missed early from his place in the af-i terpiece, no apology was made by the Manager, or Proprietor, or Patentee, 'or even any notici taken of it until very near the conclusion, -and uoi even then until Mr. Horn was called for ! What sort of conduct was this? Jo London ars apology is made before the rising of the curtain for the most trifling deviation from the printed bills ; but here we are treated with every slight, and indignity. This conies of your Monopoly There is no such thing in London. !Die Mama* were and Porfornters, Proprietors anti Patentee* are alike the servants of the public, and as such they conduct themselves ; but here they are our Masters, and as such they conduct themselves! ••0 • .
